ok i have read John Bererdi’s recipe for making protein bars. i wanna start making my own using some cheap vanilla whey from body fortress and im gonna add cashews,almonds, and pecans.
i need them as meal replacements because when i work i cant eat every 2-3 hours. id rather do protein bars than shakes because its more conveniant. i might do either Metabolic Drive or ON’s 100% casein, depending on my budget i might use the cheap whey.
im cutting now so each bar will be about 350k/cal and i need them to be p+F. im not gonna keep them cold so i cant use the refrigerator technique. what stuff do you guys use for yours?
i dont wanna buy any because all the ones ive seen have sugar and lots of carbs
Tag. I’m currently spending $7/box of six Snickers Marathon Protein bars. I’d love to make my own if it wouldn’t taste disgusting, like these do. Does doing this get costly?
I make JB’s peanut butter protein bars all the time. At first I cooked them in the oven but they never seemed to turn out right…always to dry in the middle. I know you said you can’t keep yours cold but that the only alternative I’ve found. I freeze mine after I’ve made the mix, it turns into a peanut butter bar/Popsicle. You need to eat it fairly fast but it tastes great.

Using anything other than a milk protein blend such as Metabolic Drive will cause the bars to be very dry.

Protein and Fat actually - its the mixed nut bar.
Mixed Nut Bar
This recipe combines the good fats and nutrients in various nuts, together with whey protein for an easy-to-make bar that’s low in carbs, high in protein, and full of healthy fats.
Ingredients
3/4 cup pecan meal
3/4 cup almond meal
1/4 cup walnut pieces
2 whole omega-3 eggs plus 2 whites, beaten
6 scoops vanilla Metabolic Drive
1/4 teaspoon salt
Splenda, to taste (optional)
Instructions
To make the pecan and almond meal, process the nuts in a blender. Mix everything together in a large bowl, and continue stirring until all of the ingredients have mixed together thoroughly. Spread the dough into an 8X8-inch baking dish coated with olive oil cooking spray, and bake for 15 minutes at 350-degrees F.
If you haven’t tried ON’s 100% Casein I would suggest you go with another protein. I bought a 2 lb container of it and it was disgusting. I love the whey they have but I would steer clear of ON’s Casein. Spend a few bucks more and get the MD.
